I seen my mate today who owns a immaculate red over silver calais, he bought it for $2000 three years ago and has converted it to a 5 speed manual, put an lsd with a 3.7 ratio gears in the diff, put a injected HSV 5 litre from a VT HSV, good exhaust system, hsv cai. He had put his car on the dyno and only got 240 rwHP (I think).

So he went to Eastern Creek last night and ran a 14.2 with his back tryes slipping off the mark, he reckon's he could get into the high 13's. My other mate who owns an immaculate automatic 5 litre black statesman (don't know what model) who has got a bit of work done to it ran a 15 and got the best reaction time of the night and won $200.

So when I finally get my car back next tuesday I am gonna have to goto Eastern Creek and see what my A4 VX SS, Maf mail order tune, redback exhaust system and mcai will run down the quarter mile. I am gonna be put to shame if I can't do better then 14.2 though his car is light as hell and he can drive.
